This agreement originally con- ained a provision making it binding for two years, but at the suggestion of W. Webater of the machinists' executive com- mittee this provision was eliminated and 1n its stead the company .was given power to revoke the article at will. The ma- chiniste claim the agreement has never been revoked, but that the company has talled to live up to it. The reduction of Its force is taken as evidence of bad faith on the company's part.

CONDUCTED THROUGH BELGIAN CONSUL Admiral to Attaek an Outlylng Fort, Make the Signal “Do You Sure render!” and Spanish to Holst White Fia WASHINGTON, June 27.—~Admiral Dewey continued his testimony before the senate committee on the Philippinés today. Re- plying to questions put by Senator Patter- son, he sald that he had begun pegotlations | with the. governor general of the Philip- | pines, General Jaudens, for the surrender of ths city, and the negotiations were con- ducted through the Belgian consul, who after the death of the British consul, had been very courteous in acting as a go-| tweep. It was a diplomatic pegotiation, no 1et- ters being written. The admiral said he had informed General Merritt of the proffer of General Jaudens, but that he did not be- Heve that Merritt had taken “much stock in it.” “I assured him that such was the case,” said the admiral, “but told him of the arrangement that before the surrender should take place I was to engage an out- lying fort and make the signal, according to the international code, ‘do you surren- der,' after which the Bpanlards were to hofst the white flag on the southern bas- tion. 1 may say that I was the first to dlscover the flag, notwithstanding I had tioned fifty men to look out for it. It w & thick day and I chanced to be the first to discover it He also sald he had read the festimony of General MacArthur saying that he knew of no agreement of the kind mentioned, but that It had not been his (Dewey's). business to communicate with anyone except the commanding offcal. . , Merritt Distrusts Spaniards. Asked Ly Mr. Patterson to explain his statement that Genmeral Merritt had not accepted the report that the Spaniards had agreed to capltulate, Admiral Dewey said that was ouly his belief. “I do not be. lieve,” he sald, “that the general entirely trusted the Spanish authoritieés. Still he did not say so in so many words. I may add that T have since learned that some of the Spanish officers were tempted: to fire at us, then they did not do so. Even my own flag lleutenant did not accept their profter o8 in the best falth. I knew, however, that they would surrender, for I understood what straits they were in. Roplying to a question agreement to surrender had been made public at the time of the attack upon Ma- nila, Admiral Dewey sald he thought not. “There are,” he said, ‘lots of things which are not communicated to the public.” Mr. Patterson sought to secure from Ad- miral Dewey an admission that Aguinaldo had issued a proclamation of independence to the Filipinos about the time of the sink- ing of the Spanish squadron, but the ad- miral sald he did not remember it, although it was possible that he might have done so. Mr. Patterson then read the paper for- warded by Consul General Pratt, May 20, 1898, in which the Philippine leader said that Providence had opened the way for In- dependence for the Filipinos and spoke of the Americans as their liberators. The ad- miral said, however, that he did not re- member to have seen the paper. He had, he sald, given Aguinaldo a printing press and probably he used this press for getting out his proclamations. ‘Wildman an Able Consul. In reply to a' question tHe ‘admiral sald that Consul Willlams, who had been sta- tioned at Manila, was an honest man, al- though, perhaps, quite enthusidstic. The admiral did not, however, remember to have promised to ‘Aguinaldo his *‘cordial co-operation,” as the consul had reported. | For the purpose of making inquiry concern- ing some of the representations of Consul General Wildman, located at Hong Kong, Mr. Patterson asked concerning that gen- tleman's character. The sdmiral appar- ently hesitated to reply, but then sald “He's dead. I'd rather not say. He wa: the United States consul general’’ He added that he would prefer not to reply to further questions, but when Mr. Patterson persisted he added ‘“He was a very able man—an able consul.” Mr. Patterson then read Mr. Wildman's letter of July 18, 1898, saying that Aguinaldo had conducted himself in a dignified man- etc., and the admiral assented to the truth of this statement. Speaking of Aguinaldo’s loyaity, the ad- miral id he Lad become suspicious of that leader before the receipt of his proclamation of July 15. He said, “I began to suspect that he was not loyal to us, when he demurred to moying out of Cavite when our troops arrived.” “You think that they were thinking more of thelr own independence than of us.” “Yes." Admiral Dewey also testified concerning the arms sent to Manila by Agulnaldo and Senator Dietrich asked the admiral If “he did not belleve that the arms were pur- chafled with money previously paid by Spain to secure peace and that it was his inten- tion to use the money to foment another insurrection for the purpose of galn.' The admiral’s reply was: xactly so." Dewey is Husy at Manila Mr. Patterson next called attefition to a number of proclamations torwarded by him to Washington in May, But Admiral Dewey said he did not remember having read them, and In explanation of his failure'in this re- #pect he sald: The days and nights were not long enough for me to get lhrou{h with my work at that time. Evidently 1 did not consider the proclamations as of importance If I did read them,. for I mqde no comment on them. The reading of these dispatches was fol- lowed by a number of questions. “Knowing of Agulnaldo’s expectation and purpose to secure independence,’ id Mr. Patterson, In beginniug & question, but be- fore he had concluded he was interrupted by the witness, who sald “No, 1 did not know that.” “Then you believed it to be his purpose®” ‘I did not believe it, and since you have asked my opinion, I will say that I believe that he was therq, for gain—for loot—for money, and I further belleve that independ- ence never entered his head.” Replying to another question by Senator Patterson, the admiral id that while Aguinaldo was located at Cavite and was under his observation he was always hu- mane, but that he did not see him much after the army came. All s Falr in War. Senator Carmack then put & number of questions to the witness. Replying to these the admiral id it was true he had as- ted Aguinaldo in organizing bis army by supplying him with arms, ete., that at that time there were no Amprican soldlers in the Philippines and thét Aguinaldo Had complete control of his own forces, and 8. to whether the {presented by Representative sald Aguinaldo had gone to Manila for pil- lage and plunder. He added: “You know the old saying, that ‘all fs fair in wan’" “Do you consider it fair in war to assist a known plunderer and robber In an en- emy's territory -to plllage without re- straint?"”’ 1 belleve it is as I read history.” “Then you admit that you assisted this robber and plunderer to organize, ete.?” “I didn't then call him a robber and plun- derer; 1 called him the ‘Insurgent leader.’ I have sald here that he was there for money and loot. I think those were my words and I think that is what he was there for. Do you,” he sald, turning interlocutor himself, “think he was there for anything else?” “I do," replied the senator. “Well, 1 don't,” said the admiral, and as If to express his opinion still more em- phatically, he repeated, “I don't added, “1 swear I don't.” “Do you think you know Aguinaldo better than General Otis? asked Semator Car- mack. “In some things I think I do,” the ad- miral replied. “I thiok my judgment is better in some matters than the general's. 1 do not belleve he ever saw Agulnaldo, and 1 saw him fifty times. Moreover, I know his history.” Do you think you know him better than General Bell?" “I think I know him better than any of oy officers. “Did Aguinaldo tell you that he was there for money and loot?"’ Takes Everything in Sight. “I saw in his actlons that he was. He had not been there forty-eight hours before he was taking everything In sight—provi- slons, munitions, ete.” From the Spaniard “From everybody.” For himself?" ‘I expect he got the lion's share.” ‘If General Otis and General Pell should say they regard Aguinaldo as personally honest in money matters, would their state- ment influence your opinlon In regard to him?" “Not in the slightest degree." ““You don’t know of a single dishonest act on the part of the man, and yet you regard him as a thief?" & Just before this question was asked Sen- ator Lodge, as chalrman of the committee, had announced that 12 o'clock, the hour for adjournment, had arrived. The admiral took advantage of this announcement to cut short a line of inquiry that was plainly annoying him. He rose as the last question was belng propounded, and when it was concluded, said: *I think I shan't answer that question.” He then took his hat and left the room with a polite word of adieu, but without being formally dismissed. The examination of the admiral will be continued tomorrow. HOUSE DEMOCRATS CAUCUS Adopt Rewolutions Scoring Republi- cans for Not Passing Cuban Reciproeity, WASHINGTON, June 27.—A caucus of the democratic members of the house of repre- sentatives held tonight unanimously adopted the following declaration: 1. That we condemn the republican ma- Jority in congress for their fallure to pass a measure providing reciprocity with Cuba, The bill which passed the house of repre- sentatives ‘was heartlly supported by the democratic minority after the protection to the sugar trust had been removed by the solld_democratic vote, aided by a small minority of the republican members. As it assed the house the bill carried rellef to ba, reduced the price of sugar to Ameri- can consumers and struck a heavy blow at the ‘notorfous and dhnoxious sugar trust. /The: fefusal of the republican senators to consider this measure unless the protection to the sugar trust should be restored glves evidence that the president and republican rty in_congress are willing to refuse re- fef to Cuba and totally ignore American consumers rather than abandon their a ance with the trusts. The faflure of & reciproceity legislation with Cuba rests upon the ~republican administration, which is willing to reduce the duty on raw sugar of our producers, but unwilling to destroy the sugar monopoly. 2. That the republican majority in con- gress is dominated and controlled by the trusts and monopolies which have the great industries of our country in their grasp, as shown by its action in passing an anti- trust bill through the house of representa- tives in the fifty-seventh congrees in the closing hours of the session, the senate refusing to consider the same, as a subter- fuge to tide over the election of 190. That bill has been abandoned and they have cver since refused and do now refuse and fall to bring in any measure to suppress the trusts or to favorably report any of the numerous anti-trust bills introduced by democratic members during this congres: 3. That we favor the immediate passage of a measure to amend the present anti- trust Taw so as to more fully protect trade and commerce against unlawful restraints and monopolles and also a measure to re- duce the dutles on all articles and com- modities manufactured and controlled or produced in the United States by a trust or trusts, so as to destroy such fllegal com- binations, and to reduce the rate of duty on any article or commodity manufactured in the United States and sold in a forelgn country more cheaply than in the United Btates. 4. We oppose the adjournment of congress until the measures mentioned above have been enacted into law. The caucus lasted only an hour and was devoted to a discussion of the terms of the toregoing resolution, which was drawn up by Representative Jackson of Kansas and Griggs of Georgla, chalrman of the democratic con- gressional committee. A number of speeches were made arraigning the majority in con- gress and In support of a strong democratic declaration. Representative Richardson of Tennessee, the democratic floor leader, was among the speakers and at the close of his speech the resolutions were adopted unani- mously. Preparing for Republican Convention WASHINGTON, June 27. — President Roosevelt today had among his callers Isaac Miller Hamilton, president; Willlam L. Robrer, secretary, and James Sheridan, all of Chicago, and members of the National Republican League of the United States. They conferred with him briefly regarding the national convention of the league to be held this autumn at a place yet to be de- cided upon,“es well as regarding the work to be dome in comnection with the coming campaign. ‘The president will see them again later in the day. Although the con- yention will probably be held in the west some time in August, Philadelphia is mak- ing a strong bid to have it held there. ACCUSED OF EMBEZZLEMENT Wavrant for J. P.

Spence, said to be the manager of the United States Ity assoclation at Duluth, Minn., has ted here on a warrant telegraphed from the chiet of police of Duluth, charg- ing embezslement. Spence was found with his wife and two children in a private bouse in Sutter street. He was quite ill and could not be removed. ) Spence came to San Francisco on June 16 with his family, To the detective he erted he did not know why he was that he was under no restraint. Having lald the foundation by securing these te- ments, whith were in reiteration of what the admiral had said in his testimony yes- terday, Mr. Carmack asked the witness why be had done so much to ald s man whom he regarded as a ‘‘common robber and plunderer.” The admiral did not reply fmmediately. His face reddened and he laughed. He then said the senator had not quoted him accurately, but he tted that be had wanted in Duluth. He sald he came to Calitornia solely for his health. DULUTH, Minn., June 27.—J. C. Spence was agent at Duluth for the United Sta Installment Reaity company, a concern that bullds houses on the co-operative plan.

DEBATE OVER RECIPROCITY Senator Toller Makes Sharp Oriticiem of Bill as Now Proposed. PLATT RETURNS VERY CUTTING REPLY that Colo¥ado Semator Only Backink Up Beet Sugar Trast as Against Refiner Frawt; Asnerts [0} WASHINGTON, June 27.—Quite unex- pectodly a sharp debaté arose in the senate today.on the quéstion of Cuban reciprooity. Mr. Teller of Colorado; at whose instance the senate committee on Cuban relations made its investigation of the subject, de- livered. a spirited speech In opposition to reciproeity with Cuba. He charged that the entire reciproeity propaganda had been backed by the Ametican Sugar Refining company and by Americans who were in- terested financlally in Cuban sugar plahta- tions. The purpose, he sald, was to strike down an important agricultural industry of this country. He was willing to join iIn a general revision of the tariff to meet changed - conditions; but uniess the duties on iron and steel and other products were reduced ‘with those on fugar in order that the arrangement might be equitable the beet sugar growers never would consent to a reduction on their produot. Mr. Platt of Connecticut, chairman of the Cuban relations committee, replied to the Colorado - senator. We maintained that there was nothing sordld in the desire to promote reciprocal relations between the United States awt ‘Cubh and sald the mak- Ing of some copcessions to Cuba was .a plain duty of this cowntry. It was a duty this government owed to.itself as well as to Cuba, beeause absolutely friendly rela- tions with the new republic were a neces- sary means of defense to this country un- less the United. States should annex the ) island. That, he heped, would not be dohe, as he regarded. anmexation as a grave menace to our inatitutions. Te! Sharp Wor Aftor asking for the printing of several documents Mr. Tellef referred to the state- ments made of the distress in Cuba and to the statements that unless the United States should give réllef to the island a revolution would ogcur. Mr. Teller de- clared that the statements were untrue and that there never had been apy condition in the island which wafranted the statements. He asserted that It had been proved afirmatively that no sfich condition existed “I say,”” sald_he, “measuring my words, that never in my experience in public lite has there been 8o patent and open an a tempt to decelye the American people this." He sald the attempt at. deception was made by those who were relying upon the well-known desire of the American people to assist any other people who were In distress. Discussing the beet sugar indus- try, the Colorado senator sald the question was one of.great.importance to the people of the west, They studied it and it 414 not take them long to ~mscertaln ‘‘that the American Sugar Refining company—the American Sugar trust—was particularly ac- tive In urging the reduction of the duty on Cuban sugar.”’, He said there was some desire on the part of the Cibans fo secure a reduction of duty on tobacgo, But that was lost sight of in view of the propaganda for a reduc- tion in the duty on sugar. ‘“There has been,” be, dpelpredy ‘‘mqpe misrepresenta- tions and mluuleflenu about our obliga- tions to Cuba (KAl “about almost ahy other question. Evers'. obligation which this country was-under ‘to Otiba haé ben per- formed,” he ‘®ald,”’add e chiilenged any senator to indicate any Obligation which the United States was undet to the island. No Disreas in Cupa., * Unes ““There 1s no distress in Cuba,” he de- clared, “and my correspondence’ with the people of the island proves this. The peo- ple are not mendicants at our hands. The American - holders' of sugar lands in-Cuba and the American Sugar Refibing company are at the bottom.of this effort to change our financial system with reference to Cuba.” t In conclusion he sald the proposed bill of the committee on relation with Cuba proceeded on thé theory that the United States could not’ produce its own sugar. This he declared was untair to the people. Mr: Platt of Connecticut, chairman of the committee on' Cuban relations, replied briefly to Mr. Teller's argument. He de- clared that it was in’the nature of an attack by the beet sugar trust on the re- finers sugar trus he insisted, “entirely outside the question whether the United States ought to enter into reciprocal relations with our nearest neighbor.” In a brief reply to Mr. Platt's statement, Mr. Teller referred to his expressed fear of annexation as a “baby cry” and a childish attack on those who differed from him on the question of reciprocity. He declared that question had been started in the in- terest of the great American sugar trust, and that people had been deceived regarding the question, “by the purchased newspapers of this country.” . The Cherokee Indian bill was then passed. Mr. Allison then presented the conference report on the District of Columbla appro- priation bill, and It was agreed to and thus passing the measure, The conference report on the Choctaw and Chickasaw Indian treaty bill was also agreed to. The following bill passed: ‘To provide for the organization of pri- vate corporations in the district of Alaska. Authorizing the secretary of the treasury to fix the salaries of the deputy collectors at the sub-ports of entry at Tacoma and Seattle, Wash., the salary not to exceed $2,600 a year each: to Incorporate the So- clety of the Army of Santiago de Cuba; for the further distribution of the reports of the supreme court, extending the time for muking final proof in desert land en- tries in Yakima county, Washington. The senate then, at 5:55 went In executive sesslon, and soon afterward adjourned.

Mr. Reld will now close up the special embassy and go to Ports- mouth to visit Rear Admiral Arent C. Crowninshield, commander-in-chlef of the European station, on the flagship Illinois.

Wilson, the rep- resentative of the United States army In the speclal embassy, is to follow him. Colonel John Biddle, General Wilson's alde, wlll return to America. The presence of the princess of Wales and the inclusion of Mrs. Reld In the audience today was simply a continuation of that specially friendly attitude which the British royal family and government have through- out shown toward the American mission. King Edward has expressed himself as greatly pleased with the receipt of Presi- dent Roosevelt's message of greeting and the members of th government have missed no opportunity throughout the mission vielt of indicating its appreciation of the friendly feeling shown by the United States.

The-# o'clock bulletin created the greatest satisfaction. o Subsequently a member of the govern- ment said to a representative of the Asso- clated Press: ‘‘Really, everything is go- ing on wonderfully well and we all now think the king will recover, though, of course, we are afrald of being premature or unduly optimistic. The king is proving himself a gallant chap. ‘A good deal of !ll-feeling and misdirected criticlsm teems to have been caused by the omission of the temperature from the I understand the doctors avoided mention of it for the purpose of preventing what they belleved would be an avalanche of faulty ded‘cllnn- from the press and al- leged experts. It s only nmatural that the king's temperature slightly rises at night, and it Is expected to do 8o for some time.” The latest bulletins created the most fa- vorable impression In Parliamentary cir- cles. Many of the medical experts now belleve that all danger of any septic polson has passed and that 8o far as can be seen the crisis may be considered at an end. ROME, June 27.—At the close of the morning sitting of the Chamber of Depu- tles today the president of the house, Signor Blancherl, read the latest bulletin regard- ing King Edward's condition. Its hopeful wording was greeted with prolonged cheers. How Morgan Hears the News. NEW YORK, June 27.—The London cor- respondent of the Herald cables that a story is going the rounds how J. Pierpont Morgan first heard of the postponement of the coronation and its cause. The capi- talist was traveling at the time on the underground raliway, seated in one corner of & first-class carriage, while a stranger sat opposite. Nobody else was in the com- partment.

BOTH SIDES ARE STILL STANDING FIRM Exeepting President Mitehell's Offer to Arbitrate There Has Been No by Either Miners or Employe: Advancement WILKESBARRE, Pa., June 27.—Tomorrow will end the seventh week of the anthracite coal miner workers' strike. Ex- cepting President Mitchell's offer to ar- bitrate there has been no proposition ad- troversy since the strike began and the prediction that the struggle will be one to & finish still holds good. However, it is still belleved here that some outside party is going over the situa- tion with a view of finding a way to bring the miners and the operators together. If such Is belng dome, it is not likely that clal national convention of the mine work- ers held next month at Indianapolis. It is not unlikely that the report of Labor Com- mssioner Carroll D. Wright to President Roosevelt may suggest some way that may lead to a settlement. The publigation of the repory is eagerly awatted by the strikers. Considering the great number of men who are idle, the strike is a remarkable one. Including those who have been laid off by reason of dull times on account of the sus- pension, It is estimated that fully 165,000 persons are out of work in this compara- tively small section of the state. There was & slight disturbance at the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre company’s Stanton colliery at South Wilkesbarre today caused by fifteen Polanders, who are strikers, at- tempting to assault two men who were | coming to work. Six of them were arrested | and held in bail for their appearance in court President Mitchell will leave Wilkes- barre for Chicago tomorrow. After visiting his family he will meet the leaders of tho United Mine Workers' in the bituminous reglons of the west, when it is expected routine and other matters will be talked over.
